For the last two decades, marketers have lived by the decisions one company has made and the experience customers have with that company's search bar (and in many cases, browser). But what happens when Google is dethroned by an AI? Agility requires not just adapting to new channels, but fundamentally rethinking the entire customer discovery journey when the rules are rewritten overnight. It's about moving from optimizing for keywords to influencing AI-driven conversations. Today, we're going to talk about the rise of AI browsers and Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO. Whether it's using ChatGPT or Perplexity to search the web or with tools like OpenAI's Atlas browser, we're seeing a convergence of search, shopping, and conversation that could fundamentally change how brands are discovered, evaluated, and purchased, creating a new battleground for customer data and attention. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Imri Marcus, CEO and Co-Founder at Brandlight.

When 62% of your customers are making decisions based on deals and discounts, is investing in premium customer experience a luxury you can still afford, or is it the only thing that can actually save you? Agility requires brands to move beyond seasonal planning and into a state of continuous listening. It's about having the insight and infrastructure to pivot your customer experience strategy in real-time based on economic signals and shifting consumer priorities. Today, we're going to talk about decoding the often-conflicting signals consumers sent during the last holiday season. Five9 posted some of their findings in a report that we'll link out to in the show notes. We'll explore how deep-seated economic pressures are reshaping shopping habits, and how AI is moving from a back-office tool to a front-line differentiator that can deliver both the savings customers crave and the experiences that build loyalty. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Jenn Edwards, VP of Customer Experience at Five9.

Retail Media Networks are generating billions of dollars, but not all brands benefiting from them equally. Agility requires more than just shifting budgets to the newest channel; it demands a fundamental rethinking of how internal teams collaborate and how technology is applied to the unique environment of retail. Today, we're going to talk about the nuanced reality of Retail Media Networks. They represent one of the biggest shifts in marketing, but many brands are finding that the playbook from traditional digital advertising doesn't quite translate. We'll explore why simply plugging in programmatic tools isn't the silver bullet it's promised to be, how to navigate the internal budget battles between trade and media teams, and what it really takes for AI to deliver on its potential in a retail context.

Award-winning actress Amirah Vann joins Gracias, Come Again for a heartfelt, funny, and deeply personal conversation rooted in culture, family, faith, and purpose. Born and raised in Queens, New York, Amirah opens up about growing up Afro-Latina, being raised by her Puerto Rican mother after losing her Nigerian and Guyanese military father at just nine years old, and the powerful village of tias and tios who surrounded her in Far Rockaway, Queens. Amirah shares the sacrifices her immigrant mother made to give her a full, creative life, from finding ways to afford arts classes and strong schools to believing in her dreams long before the world caught on. We talk about how theater in New York City became her foundation, shaping her voice as both an actress and a singer. She is currently starring as Dr. Gina Walker on FOX’s hit medical drama Doc, and breaks down what it’s like stepping into a leading role on network television. Amirah also reflects on her role in Netflix’s A Jazzman’s Blues, sharing the surreal moment Tyler Perry personally called her to join the film. The conversation dives into her iconic role as Tegan Price on How to Get Away with Murder, and what it meant to work alongside the legendary Viola Davis. Amirah opens up about raising her two daughters, who are part Black and part Latina, and how intentional she is about teaching them Spanish, keeping them connected to their Puerto Rican culture, and making sure they grow up proud of every part of who they are. She talks about passing down culture at home, from language to music to family traditions and one of the most meaningful parts of the conversation is Amirah opening up about how it feels to now be seen and embraced by the Latino community, and the pride she feels in owning every part of who she is. The episode is lighthearted, emotional, and full of laughs, and by the end, we realized we’d become real-life friends, bonded by growing up in New York, being raised by strong Latina mothers, and surviving the hood with love and humor.

How can neurodiversity become a leadership strength? In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Nella Garcia Urban, CEO of DSST Public Schools. Nella came from YES Prep Public Schools, Houston, where she spent over 20 years in various roles leading and operating charter schools. Nella is also the Board Chair of LEAL, Latino Educators Advancing Leadership. As a proud Latina and neurodiverse leader, Nella shares how embracing her identity—and being open about her needs—has made her a stronger and more authentic leader. What once felt like a challenge became her power: seeing the world differently, asking questions others might not, and showing up fully as herself in every space. She shares lessons for rising leaders: •Celebrate neurodiversity. What sets you apart can be your greatest strength. •Ask for what you need. Self-advocacy is essential to thriving in leadership. •Model authenticity—unapologetically. By showing up as your true self, you give permission for other adults and kids to do the same. Nella's story shows that when we embrace neurodiversity, advocate for ourselves, and lead with authenticity, we not only rise—but create a culture where others can rise too.

With AI like ChatGPT now handling the customer journey from search to potentially the entire transaction, are we about to witness the end of the brand website as the primary point of conversion? Agility requires not just reacting to new technologies like AI, but proactively redesigning the core operating model of the marketing organization. It demands a shift from mastering a set of fixed channels to building a flexible system that can learn, test, and scale with entirely new platforms for discovery and engagement. Today, we're going to talk about how AI is fundamentally rewriting the playbook for marketing—from how customers discover brands in the first place, to the very nature of content creation, and the operational realities of building a team and a tech stack that can keep up. It's a topic filled with both existential threats and massive opportunities.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Lisa Avvocato, Chief Marketing Officer at Vitam and former VP of Marketing and Community at Sama.

Alex is known for blending biblical wisdom with practical, hope-filled insight, and today she brings all of that and more. She is a proud Latina, a wife and mom of three, and currently pursuing her master of arts in women and theology at Northern Seminary. She serves faithfully in her local church and loves helping others walk through life with faith and hope.Alex opens up about the importance of healing from past offenses and the ways emotional wounds can quietly shape our leadership, our relationships, and even our ministry. She helps us understand how our history can show up in our present—and what God invites us to do with that. With vulnerability and clarity, she reminds us that while hurt is inevitable, offense is a choice, and healing is part of our calling as leaders.Follow along with Alex:Connect @AlexandraVHooverAlexandraVHoover.comGet all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/bookTo shop our MERCH, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/shopWant to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

Trump y su relación con América Latina
Convidado: Filipe Figueiredo, historiador pela USP, colunista do jornal O Estado de São Paulo e criador do podcast Xadrez Verbal. Com a maior estrutura militar do planeta, há décadas os Estados Unidos transformaram seu poder bélico em instrumento de política externa. Em nome da segurança nacional e de interesses estratégicos, Washington atuou – direta ou indiretamente – para intervir na política de outros países ao redor do globo. Os resultados deixaram rastros de instabilidade e crises duradouras. A exemplo do que aconteceu no Iraque, no Irã e no Afeganistão, onde a ocupação americana durou duas décadas. Agora, o presidente dos EUA, Donald Trump, afirma que a intervenção na Venezuela não tem data para terminar – e vai durar até um processo de transição de poder. Neste episódio, Victor Boyadjian conversa com o historiador Filipe Figueiredo. Colunista do jornal O Estado de São Paulo e criador e apresentador do podcast Xadrez Verbal, Filipe relembra o que levou às invasões de países na América Latina e no Oriente Médio – e responde como o movimento MAGA dá uma nova roupagem ao processo de intervencionismo americano. Ele explica o que deu errado em uma série de processos de intervenção e, por fim, traça um paralelo entre as invasões do Iraque e da Venezuela.

Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay y Paraguay celebran la aprobación en el Consejo de la Unión Europea del Acuerdo Mercosur-UE, el cual crea la mayor zona de libre comercio del mundo eliminando aranceles a más del 90% del comercio bilateral. "Es un gran paso porque traerá progreso para las dos regiones y por lo que representa en el contexto internacional actual", dijo a RFI Nicolás Albertoni, excanciller de Uruguay y ex negociador del acuerdo. El lunes, la presidenta de la Comisión Europea, Ursula von der Leyen firmará en Paraguay el acuerdo comercial que vinculará al bloque con los cuatro países del Mercosur. Tras un cuarto de siglo de complicadas negociaciones, marcadas por diferencias políticas y comerciales que amenazaban con hacerlo naufragar, el Acuerdo de Mercosur-UE recibió la luz verde de Bruselas. Radio Francia Internacional entrevistó a Nicolás Albertoni, excanciller de Uruguay que estuvo al frente de la fase de conclusión del Acuerdo en diciembre de 2024. RFI: ¿Cuál es la dimensión de este acuerdo entre los dos bloques de lado y lado del Atlántico y que estuvo a punto de no ver la luz? Estamos hablando del acuerdo más grande del mundo que abarca 700 millones de personas. No hay otro acuerdo de esta magnitud en el mundo. Hay que destacar al mismo tiempo su "regionalidad". Porque si bien Europa ha negociado acuerdos importantes con otros países, todavía no lo había hecho con una región como es el Mercosur, la cual abarca aproximadamente el 80% en todos los datos del PIB o del comercio de la región. Al hablar del 90% de apertura, esto significa que se abren más mercados. También es verdad que Mercosur tiene menos experiencia negociadora y es solo un bloque de cuatro países mientras que del otro lado estamos hablando de 27 socios que tienen una apertura más transversal entre ellos. Sí se va a tener que generar una lógica de mayor competencia, que es una experiencia a la que no se había enfrentado en esta magnitud. En el corto plazo va a haber más apertura de alimentos hacia Europa y más apertura de una industria europea hacia Mercosur. Creo que en el mediano plazo va a ser positivo. Y habrá que enfrentarse a la competencia, que no es negativa por sí misma, en todos los rubros de las economías de ambas partes”. Además, va a tener un impacto absolutamente transversal que es difícil medir solamente en términos comerciales. Este acuerdo incluye cooperación, inversiones, también valores políticos que unían a las dos regiones. RFI: Numerosos agricultores europeos, especialmente los de Francia y Polonia, son reacios a esta firma e intentaron impedirla. Para convencerlos, los gobiernos de la Unión Europea respaldaron establecer cláusulas de salvaguarda en favor de ellos que permitirán al bloque reaccionar rápidamente ante las perturbaciones del mercado que pueda causar justamente el aumento de importaciones agrícolas procedentes del Mercosur. ¿Cuáles eran los principales temores en el Mercosur? Sobre los hechos ocurrido sen las últimas semanas, creo que el temor más grande era que no avanzara el acuerdo. Y es cierto que todas estas salvaguardas no eran el escenario ideal, pero en estos casos hay que ver el bien mayor y el bien mayor es tener un acuerdo. Y, en estos tiempos que vive el mundo, más allá de las razones netamente comerciales, esta es una inmensa señal geoeconómica. Porque también podría ser a la inversa. Es decir que, si esto no avanzaba, sería una señal geopolítica muy negativa. Por eso yo creo que pasada la firma, que era el hito técnico importante para concretarse, la política europea tiene que dar ahora una señal al mundo diciendo: "Señores, estamos para negociar, para avanzar y para acercarnos a una región complementaria y emergente como es América Latina".
Otto Skorzeny fue el soldado más temido del Tercer Reich. Una cicatriz brutal en la cara. Casi dos metros de altura. El hombre que rescató a Mussolini en una operación imposible. Hitler lo convirtió en leyenda. Los aliados lo buscaron como criminal de guerra. Pero cuando todo parecía perdido, Skorzeny hizo lo imposible: desaparecer. Y reaparecer en España bajo la protección de Franco. Ahí construyó un imperio en las sombras: tráfico de armas, redes de exnazis, golpes de estado en América Latina. Hasta que sus peores enemigos, el Mossad israelí, le hicieron una oferta que no pudo rechazar. Esta es la historia real del nazi que engañó a la muerte... y pactó con el diablo. Varias veces.

What if I told you that for every new dollar you've added to your marketing budget in the last two years, your actual impact on customers has gone down? Agility requires moving beyond the muscle memory of simply increasing ad spend. It demands a continuous reassessment of what truly connects with customers and a willingness to pivot creative strategy based on real-time cultural and emotional insights. Today, we're going to talk about a paradox that's likely keeping many marketing leaders up at night: the massive increase in global ad spend versus the startling drop in marketing impact. It's what Shutterstock's latest research calls the "impact gap," and we'll explore why the old playbook of just spending more is broken, and what the new drivers of success—like emotional connection, cultural relevance, and AI-powered personalization—actually look like in practice. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Allison Sitzman, Vice President of Brand Strategy at Shutterstock. About Allison Sitzman Drawing on over 20 years of experience, Allison Sitzman is a strategic marketing leader who helps brands navigate inflection points, translating customer insight into growth and differentiation.

Convidadas: Carol Prado, repórter do g1; e Isabela Boscov, jornalista e crítica de cinema. Em 2026, a cultura latino-americana deve ampliar ainda mais seu espaço no entretenimento global. A previsão é da revista britânica "The Economist", que aponta a América Latina como um dos principais motores da indústria cultural neste ano. Isso, depois de, em 2025, a música e o cinema latinos terem tido destaque no showbiz mundial. Artistas como Bad Bunny e Karol G lideram rankings globais, e empresas do setor cultural anunciam investimentos bilionários na região. Tudo impulsionado por um público numeroso, jovem e altamente conectado, que tem transformado produções locais em fenômenos internacionais. Enquanto isso, o cinema brasileiro vive um momento de maior visibilidade fora do país. ‘O Agente Secreto' e outros quatro brasileiros estão na pré-lista do Oscar 2026. O filme de Kleber Mendonça Filho soma também recordes no Globo de Ouro: foram 3 indicações, nas categorias Melhor Filme de Drama, Melhor Filme em Língua Não-Inglesa e Melhor Ator em Filme de Drama, com Wagner Moura. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery recebe a repórter do g1 Carol Prado para explicar como a música latina deixou de ser nichada e passou a protagonista mundial. Carol detalha os números deste mercado e como o movimento tem uma dimensão política. Depois, Natuza conversa com a crítica de cinema Isabela Boscov. É ela quem analisa o momento do cinema brasileiro e latino-americano e fala da importância de políticas de incentivo permanentes.

Learn more at noviconnect.com As we look ahead to the next holiday season, will your marketing strategy even matter if an AI agent is making the final recommendation for the consumer? Agility requires more than just the latest AI tools. It sometimes requires fundamentally re-engineering how your brand earns visibility and trust in an algorithm-driven world. It demands a shift from winning clicks on a search page to becoming the definitive answer for an AI agent. Today, we're going to talk about how agentic AI is quietly becoming the new gatekeeper between brands and consumers, radically changing e-commerce discovery and purchase behavior, especially in the CPG and retail space.

Ken McCarthy returns to the podcast to tackle a subject that affects every American: the quiet collapse of modern medicine. In this episode, we dive into Ken's new book, Diabolical Errors: The Strange and Unsettling History of Vaccine Science, a deeply researched examination of how the U.S. healthcare system reached its current breaking point. Why is the country now marked by chronic disease epidemics, shrinking doctor–patient time, worsening maternal and infant outcomes, and an ever-expanding reliance on pharmaceutical interventions? Ken joins us to explain… Ken challenges the long-held assumption that mass medical mandates are grounded in clear, settled science. Instead, he argues that institutional authority has increasingly replaced genuine scientific inquiry, leaving patients with fewer choices, worse outcomes, and little room to ask fundamental questions. In this conversation, we explore: What history tells us about the current state of the medical system. How the American medical system became so expensive, bureaucratic, and ineffective. Why chronic and metabolic diseases are exploding despite advanced care. How fear, incentives, and coercion shape medical policy. Whether there is a realistic path forward for patients and practitioners alike. Drawing on decades of experience as an Internet pioneer, researcher, and systems thinker, Ken connects the dots between information control, institutional corruption, and the erosion of medical trust. If you're ready to question assumptions and examine how we got here, this discussion is for you! To learn more about Ken McCarthy and his work, click here.
With AI poised to generate nearly infinite content, personalization, and experiences, is the single most important thing marketers should be focused on actually something that can't be automated at all? Agility requires not just adopting new technologies, but knowing when and how to double down on timeless human principles. It's about integrating the power of AI without losing the soul of the brand. Today, we're going to talk about the unexpected paradox of the AI revolution. As artificial intelligence becomes more capable of creating, personalizing, and automating customer interactions at scale, the most critical differentiator for a business isn't a better algorithm, but a stronger, more trusted brand. We'll explore why brand is becoming the essential human edge in an increasingly automated world, and how leaders can harness AI not to replace their brand, but to amplify it. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Jessica Shapiro, Chief Marketing Officer at LiveRamp.

What if the foundation of your digital strategy, your corporate website, is becoming less important than the conversations happening about your brand in places you don't control? Agility requires a fundamental shift in mindset, moving beyond just broadcasting your message on owned channels to actively shaping the narrative across an entire ecosystem you don't fully control. Today, we're going to talk about how generative AI is creating a new layer between your brand and your customers, changing how they discover information and what they trust. We'll explore the surprising new balance of power between owned media and earned media, and what it means for your PR, content, and SEO strategies moving forward.
